    Many of you may have already seen this, it is an awesome video created by a 15 year old girl named Lizzie Palmer. I must admit, I cried the first time I saw it.

    keri- what an amazing video. i'm still wiping away the tears.

    i have to say that i am totally against this war, on so many levels.
    i am totally against this administration, on so many levels.

    but..... i totally support our troops.
    i am so grateful to them and their families for the sacrifices they are making.

    Funkymom .. Ennio is incredible! What a unique artist. I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite, but Dolly Parton, Elvis and Cher were delightful. Thank you so much for the introduction and posting those links; I've spent the past half-hour laughing!

    @Maizey, next time the folks out here think I'm nuts for building a snow man or making snow angels while barefoot, and wearing shorts and a t-shirt, I'll just refer them to Wim Hof. He raises the mark for absolute crazy, I reckon.

    We may need a thread for Weird?

    Here are two suggestions for starters:
    Sidewalk Psychiatry
    Lots of Things Like This

    A wonderfully designed interactive website and great art at the Sergey Tyukanov Museum Of Art.

    ------------------------
    @ Bobby, if you want to start a topic for weird, I'm certain that we can find some interesting and unsual sites. I know I've already got some in my bookmarks.

    Truly Amazing.

    This is an amazing video of one of the homeless in
    Santa Barbara and his pets. They work State Street
    every week for donations. The animals are pretty
    well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The
    man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so
    she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and
    himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and
    so no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started
    riding with the cat and often, on the cat. The dog
    will stand all day and let you talk to him and
    admire him for a few chin scratches. The mayor of
    Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a
    Christmas card.

    Bobby, what a geeky project! Would be fun to make and have! Could tell the kiddies, if they don't behave I'll vaporize them with it! I'm so EVIL! >:D

    Ahhhh boy .. I did not consider that kids just might try to build some of these gadgets, even though I followed a link from a science project site. I should have, though .. my brother and I were geeky kids and once upon a time _we_ would have tried to build them.

    ***EDIT****

    Inventor Spot has an article on some very inventive kids that have figured out how to change the flavor of foods, without changing the appearance (chocolate flavored brussel sprouts, anyone?)

  29. Fastest Car taken out "for a spin".

    Top Gear tests the World's Fastest Production Automobile: Bugatti Veyron...has 1000 horses and a top speed of 407kph! Thats 253mph for you math majors!

    Favorite Quote - "At this speed the tyres will only last for 15 minutes... which is OK because the fuel runs out in 12 minutes". Nothing like planning ahead. :)
